I would like to setup my tiny bluetooth mouse as a remote control for slingplayer, to control channel up, channel down, and mute. I was thinking I could do this via applescript, but it doesnt look like slingplayer is scriptable? Does anyone know if there are plans to add applescript to slingplayer? Or better yet, can anyone show me a list of applescript commands that work with slingplayer? Thanks Gern

the player in itself is not script native BUT you can still get it to respond to script commands, you just have to be a bit sneaky with it. I'm not gonna give you the complete gun to shoot yourself in the foot with but here is a hint

tell application "System Events"
tell process "SlingPlayer"
perform action "AXPress" of button 13 of window 1
end tell
end tell

Through system events you can script the player.

Here's an example of how to change the video input to the first one (for slingbox pro)

tell application "System Events"
tell process "SlingPlayer"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Slingbox"
tell menu "Slingbox"
tell menu item "Video Input"
tell menu "Video Input"
click menu item 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

This is what I'm using for Remote Buddy
